My guys, gals, and non binary pals, we are less than a month away from the spaghetti benefit for @amypeine.bsky.social. so a little update on her treatment plan, she is going to undergo 6 weeks of radiation starting the end of June.

What I'm hearing is that we didn't domesticated dogs, dogs domesticated US. #doggo #dogs #wolves

Here's an update on @amypeine.bsky.social journey #fuckcancer #cancercare www.supportnow.org/amy-peine/up...

I feel like I am reaching for the stars with my ass still stuck in the mud

As some may know @amypeine.bsky.social was recently diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma (breast cancer). This has been devastating emotionally, physically and thanks to US Healthcare system financially as well. Speaking of the US Healthcare system thanks to the... 1/2

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was killed by a federal officer in Minneapolis. Family members say he was an intensive care nurse at a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital who cared deeply about people and was upset by President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown in his city.

Today is the 56th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. It also is a very special day for me. 11 years ago @amypeine.bsky.social and I stood before our loved ones and vowed to love each other and support one another and I swore an oath to a little girl to be the best dad I could be.

Two As and a C so far. I'm hoping for at least a B. I will never take a full credit load and work full time ever again

I had a mass the size of a large grape removed from my pelvis a couple of hours ago, the surgeon doesn't know what it was so it was sent off to the VA in Minneapolis. Let's hope it was nothing!🤞

We’re launching a @deptofworkers.bsky.social digital ad buy targeting Senate & VA offices as Sec. Collins testifies at the Senate VA Committee. Tell him to stop union-busting & reverse the DOGE cuts that fired federal workers & threaten veterans’ essential services!

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

my first of several finals wish me luck y'all

I hate that I am not even surprised by this

Great turnout and signs tonight at the WHERE’S WARREN empty chair town hall. We will share more pics soon.

BREAKING: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez has been released. This is the moment he reunited with his mom.

@amypeine.bsky.social now we wait

Why do I have Careless Whisper playing in my head?

Hello everyone, It's your friendly neighborhood @stopthebleed.bsky.social instructor with another class. Rice FD will be hosting, and I'll be instructing. It will be held at 205 E Main St, Rice, MN 56367 on 12 April from 1030 to noon. The class is free and the skills learn can and will save lives

CentraCare hosting cancer screening event

There is some really great information put out by @wired.com in this video youtu.be/vK6fALsenmw?...

I think I'm losing my touch. I've been awake for 17.5 hours and I feel exhausted

I truly forgot how much I hate antipersonnel mines. Seeing the images of kids who are missing limbs because they picked up something that looks like a toy, but in reality contains 40 grams of explosives is just super heartbreaking

WOOT! I got accepted into an internship!

I'm getting burned on my birthday

Happy International Women's Day. It is an honor to share my birthday with such an important day!

Donald Trump is lying to you.

Hello everyone, my kiddo is doing a paper on DV and needs people to fill out a survey. Linked is a Google form. Your answers will be anonymous. #domesticviolence #MMIWG #domesticabuse forms.gle/9JPGcX42mWn7...

Never thought I would cite @iwriteok.bsky.social in a paper

A couple of pictures from the promotion ceremony on Wednesday night. I had the honor of being promoted with two others. One was my old LT, whose bugles I now wear. He got promoted to Captain and now leads the squad old squad of our newly promoted Assistant Chief.

ICYMI: St. Cloud Starbucks baristas win union election - https://www.stcloudlive.com/business/st-cloud-starbucks-baristas-win-union-election 

I got my bugles today, I am now a lieutenant on the fire department

I heart Tina Smith.

At this very moment, republicans in Congress are voting to actually end the lives of thousands upon thousands of Americans. They're voting to kill people to give tax breaks to the wealthy. LET'S NOT SUGAR COAT THIS SHIT! Pass it on.

Hero

This kind of boot licking makes me want to run for Congress in my district. We cannot allow unelected billionaires with special interests in government spending have access to private data.

Signs I'm old. I just tweaked my back walk across campus by not actually falling, only slipping on the ice outside of Atwood.

Attention Central MN, my name is Kevin. I am a paramedic firefighter, and my fire department has an opportunity for the public to learn some life-saving skills. The course is @stopthebleed.bsky.social. What will be taught? Students will learn how to identify and stop life-threatening bleeding

I am filling out my scholarship application for @stcloudstate.bsky.social, and I am realizing how much I do in my professional life as paramedic, firefighter, and MNSCU instructor.

👀

If i am ever published in a professional journal, I am sneaking in dick jokes, bad puns, and dad jokes into the article!

GOOD NEWS: A federal court temporarily halted President Trump's order to freeze all federal funding, including grants for public health, education, and safety. Trump's order would have devastating consequences for communities in every corner of the nation. Our leaders must block it for good.

The law is clear that cities and states have every right to focus on serving their residents, instead of helping ICE detain and deport them.

In this YouTube video I call Elon musk a Nazi for 12 minutes straight. Perfect to watch without headphones in the break room during lunch.

Two weeks into goddamn semester and the book supplier for my university still hasn't fulfilled the one required textbook I need for the term. I wonder how many other students they are fucking over!

Just submitted a request to the DoD for my personnel records. Why do I feel some sort of way about this.

The Air Force has removed videos of its storied Tuskegee Airmen and the Women Airforce Service Pilots, or WASPs — the female World War II pilots who were vital in ferrying warplanes for the military — to comply with the Trump admin’s crackdown on DEI initiatives. apnews.com/article/air-...

On the first of the month, I will be promoted to lieutenant at my fire department!

February 15th I will be holding another Stop the Bleed Class. If you like please fill out the form to give me an idea how many people are showing up, but I won't turn anyone away if they show up day of. It will be held at Rice City Hall it will go from 1030 to Noon.

Why did I have to get laid up with a back injury on a week where I have fun shit to do? Some of my favorite partners are this week, and my FD had ice rescue training!
